In the “presuper” days, the silly heroes in comic strips and later comic books always came second to the archvillains. It was the man of steel who was able to turn tables on the archvillains and achieve true hero status.However, Superman was not merely the first of a long line of comic heroes. He was also quite different from those who followed. Clark Kent，the other identity of Superman, did not himself produce Superman by uttering the magic word. It was really the other way around; Superman produced Clark Kent to disguise his superhuman origin and powers.Superman actually came from another planet, Krypton. Just before Krypton exploded，a scientist named JorEl placed his infant son in a rocket，launching it to the earth where it landed safely. There he was seen and rescued by an elderly couple, the Kents. They took the baby to their home and brought him up as their son, Clark.A few years passed and one day the family doctor who was examining the boy was amazed to notice his extraordinary strength: The doctors advice was that the family should hide this fact. As a result，Clark grew up hiding his powers. Instead of being known as the man of steel, he became the nervous but handsome Clark Kent, who was known to faint in times of crisis.Batman, another of the superheroes, was actually the fictional identity of Bruce Wayne. Wayne was a millionaire who was able to use his wealth to acquire the power needed to perform superhuman feats. Therefore, unlike Batman and Bruce Wayne, Superman was real and Clark Kent was the fictional identity. Perhaps this is why readers of the comic books quickly accepted this new hero as he battled the forces of evil and injustice.1The “presuper” days that the passage refers to were the days before _.A. heroes B.

The major factors contributing to the making of this new nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard environment, ethnic diversity(多民族) and plural religion，which is quite different from other nations in the world. What is more, these elements are still influencing the American culture.The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of America. From 1607 to 1892, frontiers were pushed further west. The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources and a land of promise, opportunity and freedom. Actually they looked for a better life. So individualism(个人主义), selfreliance and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely associated with the frontier heritage(遗产) of America.In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times. They brought their own culture to America and later on different cultures were mixed together. Thus the unique American culture is formed, a common cultural life with commonly shared values.The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the right of individuals to practice their own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States. The great diversity of ethnic backgrounds has produced religious pluralism; almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced in the United States.Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society. American family is typically parents and their unmarried children. Middleaged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children. The people in America have a very strong desire to start a new life in a new place. Quite a number of people change residences every year. The average American moves fourteen times in his lifetime.5American culture is unique because of the following factors except _.A. hard environmentB. ethnic diversityC. plural religionD. advanced modernization答案与解析：D细节理解题。用排除法。第一段提到美国独特文化形成的主要因素是“hard environment, ethnic diversity(多民族) and plural religion”，而没有提到advanced modernization，故选D。6We can learn from this article that _.A. the frontiersmen left important society values for American cultureB. the early immigrants brought about the unique American cultureC. people in the world once rushed to America because of its unique cultureD. the American family members dont get along well with each other答案与解析：A细节理解题。由第二段的叙述尤其是最后一句可知，美国的早期移民为美国文化留下了包括“individualism(个人主义)，selfreliance and equality of opportunity”在内的社会价值观(society values)。故选A。7Whats the authors attitude towards American culture?A. He is critical of it.B. He admires it very much.C. He just states the facts.D. He looks down upon it.答案与解析：C作者态度推断题。纵观全文可以看出，作者只是客观地叙述了美国独特的文化形成的原因、背景，以及影响当今美国文化的三大因素等，并没有对此作出评论，故选C。8The last paragraph is about _.A. the family structure in American societyB. the influence of the three elements in the current American societyC. the new life style of American familyD. the reason why American people like to change residence答案与解析：B段意推断题。在该段中，第一句是该段的中心句，全段围绕该句向我们介绍了影响当今美国社会的三大因素。故选B。9What might be the most suitable title of this article?A. The Immigrants in AmericaB. Why American Culture is UniqueC. The Influence of American CultureD. Plural Religion and American Culture答案与解析：B主旨大意题。纵观全文可以看出，文章开篇点题，第一句告诉了文章的主题：American culture is unique because it is formed and developed under certain conditions.然后全文围绕这一主题展开论述，向我们讲述美国独特的文化形成的原因。故选B。.七选五阅读In order to characterise a work as fantasy literature, I would argue, there are six traits which must be present to some degree: story, common characters, another world, use of magic and the superpower, a clear sense of good and evil, and the quest. _1_The second trait of fantasy literature is that the central characters are of a common nature. In the fantasy tale they might be any one of us and that is precisely the point. We are asked not to stand on the outside and survey this tale. _2_ Thus we find characters quite like ourselves.Even though we may all like to play Superman, in literature it seems that we stand outside the largerthanlife hero. He is well equipped, after all to fight his own battles. _3_ But with common characters we recognise their shortcomings, and want to come to their aid. When a character gets knocked down, which occurs frequently, we would like to helpfrom the safety of our easy chair. Maybe between us we can pull it off._4_ First, common characters have not lost the childlike trait of wonder, the willingness to engage adventure. Often the characters of fantasy are children, since authors have found in children a universal, common human naturecuriosity to the adult world. The second reason for the use of a common character has to do with heroism. In literary history the hero has often been a figure who acts for us. _5_ The theme in fantasy literature is that anyone may be called on to become the hero.A. Moreover, a story must move through a beginning, a middle and in the process it must move the reader.B. We should enter it so that the story becomes ours.C. He or she stands in our place in the face of danger.D. In fact, we usually know who will win; were just not certain how.E. Story seeks to free the imagination, to allow it for a time to live in another world.F. There are two other considerations that account for the trait of the common character.G. The point of a fantasy is not to hand us tidy morals, but to provide us with growth by experience.答案：1.A2.B3.D4.F5.C
